The United Nations Commission on International Trade Law (UNCITRAL) adopted the Code of Conduct for Arbitrators in International Investment Disputes during its 56th annual session at the end of July.

The code was drafted jointly with the International Centre for Settlement of Investment Disputes (ICSID) and applies to investor-state arbitration proceedings, subject to the parties’ consent or as required in the instrument of consent to arbitral proceedings.
